Today we did a 2nd distribution in Esteli; it was our first time doing two distributions in one place. So while it was nice to have a sleep in (breakfast wasn't until 7) it made it a little more difficult at the distribution site when we first arrived there. Apparently many families had heard about us from the day before and word of mouth had spread - many people arrived there hoping for a bedkit and unfortunately we had only 400 to give.
It is hard to believe that we have already touched the lives of 3200 children - we are all saying an hola, como esta or gracias to each and every child that comes to us.
Each child that is to receive a bedkit is given a "ticket" when they come to the distribution and one thing that has struck me is that those tickets are like gold to them. In the 3200 children that we have seen, there has not been one instance of a child losing or misplacing their ticket. That alone shows how precious these bedkits are to these children - they clutch those tickets and protect them.
Today we had a little wait at the end with the last few girls while we waited for some more supplies to come. Melanie and I had a great time playing basketball (with a stuffed turtle) and doing some piggy back races
